“The battle for the gospel in the opening years of the twenty-first century is being fought not primarily in the lecture rooms of North American seminaries but in the shanty towns, urban slums and villages of Africa, Asia and Latin America.”
― Brian Stanley, The Global Diffusion of Evangelicalism: The Age of Billy Graham and John Stott

“...the basic premise of religion—that if you live a good life, things will go well for you—is wrong. Jesus was the most morally upright person who ever lived, yet he had a life filled with the experience of poverty, rejection, injustice, and even torture.”
― Timothy Keller, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism

“Don't just follow your heart. Your heart will betray you.”
― Andrew Peterson, North! or Be Eaten

“If we are saved by grace alone, this salvation is a constant source of amazed delight. Nothing is mundane or matter-of-fact about our lives. It is a miracle we are Christians, and the gospel, which creates bold humility, should give us a far deeper sense of humour and joy. We don't take ourselves seriously, and we are full of hope for the world.”
― Timothy Keller, Center Church: Doing Balanced, Gospel-Centered Ministry in Your City
